Since this is an old post let's hope this message gets to you, Vdosc! I am in the same position as you were, I own an audio research VT100 Mark 2, and I am looking at Wilson speakers. The watt puppy 7 and the Sophia 2 are both on my shopping list. May I ask, did you end up purchasing a pair of Wilson's? Which ones did you go with? Were you able to addition any of the speakers with your VT100 amplifier ? From a research standpoint, The Watt Puppy 7 seems like a great way to go, if the VT100 can handle it. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
